COACH QUOTES

"It was easier than we expected. We were hoping for the minimum victory. We played excellently the first half and were ahead by a lot. In the second half we faced problems, which were only logical due to the injuries and illnesses of many players last week. Regarding all the issues I am very satisfied with this victory."

Luka Žorić, Zagreb Player:

"I am very satisfied with the game of the team, and also with what I have showed. This was my best game since I came to Zagreb. It is important that the coach is satisfied and I hope we'll start winning now."

Wykeen Kelly, Khimik Player:

"It was a rough day we are trying to get young players to play. The game started badly for us from the very beginning. The home team had a lot of advantages, we tried to get into the game in the second half but unfortunately we did not make it. Everybody had to play much better to win, including myself.

Dmitriy Bazelevskiy, Khimik Coach:

"It is difficult to explain what has happened. In the second half we played the basketball we wanted to play but it was not enough to win. It was obvious that our young players are not up to this kind of game. The absence of Marton Bader, who is injured, was obvious so we had a lot of problems under the baskets. Although we were close it was not enough to reach the victory."
